When you listen to an #AlJolson album for the first time, it's staggering just how many references to him you'll suddenly recognize from classic #LooneyTunes. :p

Tiktok is one of the foremost purveyors of the anti-intellectual movement plaguing the world, and I refuse to be swayed by it or its willfully ignorant content creators.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

With how #AI has come to be used and viewed these days, this might go down as the greatest achievement in the history of the field, and stunningly, it happened more than 15 years ago. #Watson #Jeopardy

Thunderbirds (2004) Gerry Anderson didn't deserve to see his greatest creative endeavour distilled into this shallow monstrosity of a movie. Not even Sir Ben Kingsley as The Hood could save it.

Reflecting back on my time in furry today, I came to an amusing realization: my fursona is old enough to drink in every state, and my fursuit is old enough to get married in some countries. :p

If you know me well, you know I've been around the furry fandom for quite a while. So much so that I was at #Anthrocon for its first Pittsburgh event way back in the day. It wasn't my first furry event, but it was a momentous experience that would alter the course of my life in unexpected ways.

I'm at a #MLP convention this weekend, and already I've gotten a new art commission, attended a panel and got all the autographs I planned to get. The kicker? I haven't even gotten my hotel room yet. :p

I called a hotel's call center to confirm a reservation and spelled out my name, to which the Bot gives a speech about not recognizing offensive language and hangs up on me. I call back and fight to speak with a human, who promptly fixes the issue. As if I didn't need another reason to #despiseAI.

I just received a notification that it's my turn to join the entry queue for the #FWA Moonlight Festival. I already made peace with not getting to go, but that's a unique kind of salt in the wound. :p

To be totally blunt, I'm puzzled as to why I've never seen this exact reaction when furries at #FWA are eating at Chick-fil-A. #TheFarSide #GaryLarson

Well, one thing is certain six years later: stating your opinion on whether or not #TwilightSparkle became immortal as an alicorn still makes those in the opposite camp recoil like they were personally attacked. :p

Just watched a video by a Chinese vlogger on what it's like to book an appointment and see a specialist at a hospital in #Shenzhen. Three days' wait. All I can say is that Canada's healthcare system desperately needs that level of #efficiency.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

The most lethal weapon humans have at their disposal is the simple act of lying. Lies have directly led to endless destruction and death for thousands of years, and AI media is the next step in their evolution. Whereas we could once rely on photos and video, I fear for the future of truth itself.

After the revolting display of behaviour by the USA men's hockey team in the locker room after their victory, I implore all #TorontoMapleLeafs fans to make their opinions heard vociferously by #AustonMatthews at his next home game. As captain of both teams, he owns this.
